Max, I love reading Dancing Tidbits but as a total beginner some of the terms
you use totally baffle me. Is it possible you could print a list of these,
i.e. Fan : Hockeystick : Natural top

I could go on Thank you, ...Foster

Dear Sheryl and Foster and others,

Thank you for reading "Dancing Tid-bits". I want these letters to cover from
very mundane to some fairly advanced topics on technique. I hope they will be
readable by novices as well as advanced dancers. In letter #5, I discussed
the American and the International Styles. You may want to read that letter
on the websites listed above.

Of course the terminology will be confusing because it depends on what kind
of style you are pursuing. Feel free to ask your teacher because really in
the long run you do not become a dancer by browsing the websites. As far as I
am concerned there is only one Style, "Good Style Dancing". At a higher
level, both styles tend to merge together.

Having said that, if you want to understand these terms better, I suggest the
following.
